are to celebrate tonight. The judicial MUIR

for crime. They were hanged for what
they had thought, written and spoken.
They did not hang Spies and other anar-
archsts alone. They hung free speech, free
thought. 1t Is supposed the men were
cranks, were Foreigners to whom little at
tention was paid. 1t is II mistake to sup
pose their ideas do II OF amount to anything.

the names of foreigners in this country?
They are the Jay GOulds, the Vanderbilts,
the Russell Sayes. The foreigners are not
the anarchists. The foreign element who
have nothing in kind with the people are
the capitalists.
"rhat execution will forever be handed
down as the worst crime in your history.
The people, Powderly aud Henry George
have placed themselves in line with the
